A Case of Acute Pancreatitis in Organophosphate Poisoning

Abstract

Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is one of the most harmful and easily accessible pesticides for suicide poisoning. It is linked to high mortality and morbidity. Cholinergic syndrome, intermediate syndrome, and syndrome of delayed polyneuropathy are the three primary syndromes that characterize OP poisoning. Organophosphates are strong toxins that are frequently used as pesticides in agriculture. Patients who have consumed organophosphorus may exhibit subclinical symptoms of acute pancreatitis. Correct biochemical analysis and clinical correlation assist in diagnosis. In the study, we described a 24-year-old female who suffered necrotizing pancreatitis after OP poisoning.
